Here's a wee poem :P


I was once rather lonely,

Though it wasn't that intense,

A bluebird fluttered into my yard

And perched upon my fence.


I befriended this bluebird,

But with it, a bitch was born,

It kept quiet when it was a puppy

Just sat there on my lawn.


The bluebird was indeed my friend,

I fed it and it chirped,

But my attempts to keep the bitch away

Never really worked.


The bluebird chirped less as it grew,

The bitch, however, growled,

It stood up in my garden

But it wasn't yet that loud.


As the bitch grew older,

It developed a harsh bark,

The bluebird sat there silently,

Afraid to leave its mark.


I tried to reach out for the bird,

Hold onto it this way,

But then the bitch kept barking,

And the bluebird flew away.


Now I'm left here with the dog,

Each bark it does sounds new,

It scolds me and I can't stop wondering,

What has happened to you?
